CARNELIAN

[dramatispersonae]

[The inside of the tent is spacious, but spare. In the center of the hard-packed dirt floor, as promised, there is a heavy oaken trapdoor with an iron ring set into it.

Apart from that, there is nothing.]

RULES

[dramatispersonae]

[OOC: Discuss as a team, but choose as individuals: do you venture back into Camelot? What will you try to save? How many of you will be going this time, and who will it be?

After every trip, players will be asked if they’ll be making the trip again. Each new trip starts a new round. After five rounds, when everyone in the team is satisfied that they’ve made enough trips, or are rendered unable to make further trips, inform Mordred and you’ll progress to the final round. Status effects, some mental and some physical, will be handed out each round, increasing in severity rapidly. Anyone who finds their status effects too rough to role-play may request catatonia instead, but that will effectively remove them from play until endgame.

This is not an exploradora, but a game about choices. If you choose to venture into Camelot, once you’ve picked your route, the journey itself will be handwaved except for the status effect and the success or failure of your salvage attempt.]

...people, or things?

[Either way she is certainly not risking her life for some of it.]

Re: DISCUSS

[exchanged]

They're really running a game like this? Now?

Re: DISCUSS

[itsjustafayz]

We should go back and get our weapons, at least.

Re: DISCUSS

[itsjustafayz]

Right? Great timing.

Re: DISCUSS

[scarygirl]

Such as they are. [Now is the time to wish they were all better armed.] And whoever we might have left behind from our own team.

Re: DISCUSS

[exchanged]

Even I can tell this is bad taste.

[staring. staring.]

Everything I'd care about seems to already be here...

Re: DISCUSS

[itsjustafayz]

[... oh, right, team should be a higher priority than stabbing]

Okay, so for this round we should definitely go back for Shiny.

Re: DISCUSS

[itsjustafayz]

Venus Flare, what about Shiny!

Re: DISCUSS

[embracingly]

[...he seemed to have forgotten about him for a moment.]

Then him!

Re: DISCUSS

[withreverence]

The teammates who were left behind. If they will come to fight with us. And yes, our weapons.

Re: DISCUSS

[scarygirl]

[Don't let this fool you she considers that a token duty, because without the team at full strength, they could be in trouble.]

Yes. He's been here longer than any of us. We may need him.

[And because he's got the fortitude to do what needs to be done and can't be sure about...some of the others.]

Re: DISCUSS

[withreverence]

What's wrong with it? If we're to fight, it may as well be now.

Re: DISCUSS

[itsjustafayz]

[nods]

... As a team, we definitely want to go back and get Shiny, and our weapons. Is there anyone or anything you want to find?

Re: DISCUSS

[exchanged]

We just fought for real. Turning our battle into something like this...

Re: DISCUSS

[itsjustafayz]

We'll definitely need him.

Re: DISCUSS

[withreverence]

A game is a kind of battle. Or it ought to be. At least we know what to do.

Re: DISCUSS

[kneejerk]

If there's unfinished business then we'd have to go back.

Re: DISCUSS

[itsjustafayz]

[nods]

Definitely.

[he cooks for them, after all]

Re: DISCUSS

[embracingly]

We can't leave a single Carnelian behind.
